Amzoti:
I would put in an enthusiastic plug for Paul Wellin's new book:
Programming with Mathematica: An Introduction. Cambridge University Press (2013). ISBN 978-1-107-00946-2.
Uses version 8.
And lots of gratis supporting material at:
http://www.cambridge.org/us/academic/subjects/computer-science/scientific-computing-scientific-software/programming-mathematica-introduction
Under "Resources".
(BTW, ISBNs work well for web searching, and in Amazon books.)
The Amazon review ratings are currently {6,3,1,0,0}, 5* down to 1*. (None are mine!)
Cheers
Barrie
PS
I'm recommending this to my University's library.

Hi All,
There are many Mathematica books out there, including many directed at specific topical areas.
However, I am after a general programming book in Mathematica.
Does such a book exist?
Can anyone recommend which they liked more than others and why?
Thanks for any inputs.
